Our word on the big demonstration for 23rd December

First of all we urge all fellow Muslims to remember the sanctity of this holy day which is Friday, our day of remembrance of Allah thaaalaa. Having said that, to show solidarity with fellow Muslims on our outrage about the current administration's policies on religion and Islam is a commendable thing. However we must note that everyone who joins the demonstration does not have the same aim. Although our sheikh's and leaders have promised a violence free strike, we believe there is room for violence especially as we have a third front which is our hyper active tightly connected group of saboteurs who are the real enemies of Islam. This third front is the local atheists and agnostics and they are hyperactive in social media, creating opportunities to slander Islam and hellbent to create violence. Their aim is simple, to shatter the 100% Muslim label which  we are also not in agreement. A country has to have islamic sharia first and then religious freedom at the personal level.  However for the sake peace and security, we need this country to be a 100% Islamic state however much a tiny minority disagrees. If they (as they claim) love democracy they better learn to adapt to majority rules.

The purpose of the demonstration shall be to let the current administration know that we are the majority of the population and we have issues with idols. Although all types of idols are “budhus” in dhivehi, there are various names for each form of these objects in other languages. The worst and most severely prohibited type of these is the type of statues that have been fixed in Addu atoll starting with the bird statute in Feydhoo. We have agreement by our ulema that these are indeed haraam objects and we have every right to protest and show our anger.

The budhus cannot even be justified by economic sense as these things were made, transported, fixed and kept under guard all by use of public funds which totals more than 2 million rufiyaas even by conservative estimates. We have better and more pressing issues to address with these public funds.

The political argument against the budhus can be simply stated as the budhus and the whole fiasco about it could not add even one vote to MDP voter base, but it has (we believe it already did) contributed to considerable anger against ruling MDP for appearing to defend this un-defend-able position. 

Smart politicians realize a mistake early, acknowledges the mistake, apologizes to the people and make amends to woo the voters back in to the party. But the zeal and willingness to defend the budhus by prominent MDP politicians present their inexperience in politics which we forgive them with pure hearts.

We also have words of advice for our own sheiks and ulema as they seems to have dug a whole for themselves in a political landscape which should have been a peak. The top leadership of Adhaalath needs to learn to function like a real political party and brush their knowledge of diplomatic language to avert crisis amongst themselves. The lack of diplomatic language might have caused the rift between Dr. Bari and leadership of Adhaalath and both positions seems valid except that their differences were aggravated by lack of conciliatory language.

We ask once again all our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters to be mindful of the special time the afternoon of Friday is (which is the time of dua and zikr) and to avoid confrontation amongst ourselves even as we enjoin upon us to do good and to forbid evil.

The jaahils prevailed.

Today our so called people's majlis has passed another worthless piece of law by which they will stand to lose much in the sharia of Allah(swt) in the day of judgment. Unknowingly and unwittingly they are playing in to the hands of the shaithaan who amused them with worldly pomp and glitter of power and politics and they have thwarted the hopes of suffering Muslims between whose dua and Allah(azz wa jall) there is no barrier.

They have prevailed in preventing fellow Muslim brothers who are suffering in the hands of the kuffar in the notorious American jail at Guantanamo Bay. Those who did this have no honour to their name and in the sight of Allah and believers they could be much more worthless than the people of the book who are freeing them and allowing them to live in their lands. We the so called Islamic country of Maldives have appointed to offices of importance jaahils of first order who know not how deprived they are of themselves. May Allah destroy them and substitute for us better leaders in their place. Ameen

Even  though the common people might not know of their contempt of Islam, we the common people will also be questioned as to why we followed our leaders unwittingly. Islam is not a religion of ignorance. In Islam we follow not blindly but with knowledge. Now for all those who love and adore these kuffars who voted to persecute Muslims, there is this one message. On the day of resurrection, you will be resurrected with the ones you loved and followed.

In the time of Sahaaba

Life was simple. Basically that was what characterized the life of the best after the anbiyaa of Allah at their time.

• The halaal was easier than the haraam, which is vice-versa now. For example it was easier to marry or to divorce than to do the same thing unlawfully. Now we have put so much red tape and bureaucracy around these issues, its virtually impossible for a man or a woman to come of age without falling in to a sin of this sort. Shaithaan has instilled this idea that a big deal out of these issues shall be made so that nobody enjoys what is their right by fithra  and the religion of Allah subuhaanahu wathaaalaa. So now it is either:

• preposterious pre-mairtal agreements
• pre-marriage counseling
• blood testing and various other medical tests
• extravagent waleemaas
• consent of the wife to marry the second wife
• reducing the age of consent to a numerical function despite it being a biological function

and basically anything that either delays or prevents marriage and puts forward some form of hindrance to the blessed union. This is despite his (shaithaan's) other works which already sent the people out of their aura and confused them in hijaab so that nobody can escape unintended sights .....  On the other side, shaithaan also made it sure that nobody gets out of wedlock unscathed. However incompatible the husband and wife are, shaithaan made sure that they will have to suffer their misery by some more crafts.

• The concept of slavery was also very different from the one we understand currently. Slavery at that time was not specifically against one ethnic group or race but rather there were conditions in which a free person  can be enslaved. These are: 

1. falling in debt
2. being a prisoner of war

The European and American enslavement of black people is a completely different thing which is not what was happening in Arabia. In the seerah of the holy prophet and  the sahaaba, we come across sahaaba like Salmaan the persian, Billal, the abyssinian, Zaid bin Haarisa the Arab etc.. so it was not a master race enslaving the others. Islam treated them all equal regardless of colour.

Let's welcome the Aseer's of Guantanmao Bay

Come whatever motive the president had for this decision to allow in 2 aseer's from the notorious American prison in Cuba, its a commendable action. However the opposition parties are playing politics with this issue like every other issue the government proposes and taking advantage of the ignorance of the public on matters like this. Here are some points to the story.

1. The two men, one a palestinian and the other still of unknonw nationality has never been prosecuted or knonw to be involved in terrosit activity or violence. Infact they are quite like our own local prisoner Fauzee who was inprisoned in the same jail. They are all innocent and happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. However global media has played a role in smearing their name to convey guilt whenever the name of the prison and their incacertation are conjoined. The fact of the matter is they are innocent people who deserves freedom.
2. The United States of America is not actually falling in debt because of expenses to house these men, but rather they have a problem of conscience as they want to be seen as the leaders of moral uprightness which is why they want to expel these prisoners. The American people has been poisoned by their media to reject their freedom to American soil which is why the US is trying to find other countries willing to take these prisoners in. However countries which has bad reputation of human records is not ideal places for  sending these prisoners because of the risk they be again released or their fate becoming unknown. The US does not want the countries who take back these prisoners either to release them or to harm them. Both actions will inflame the influential US media against the current administration.
3. Frequent references are made to the hadhees of the holy prophet in which our beloved prophet mentions the similitude of muslims as the likeness of an organ in body which in solidarity with the whole body will keep it from sleep if one organ is hurt or cut. Now coming back to the issue at hand, are we worried about the personal worries of these prisoners? these are just normal people like everyone else who have been incarcerated at a foreign jail for years and yet when there is just an opportunity to get them released our shameless "politicians" are trying to defame their status and trying to block this good gesture. How can we call us muslims if we behave like this? Where is the sense of muslim charity? Is it even worse than christian charity? How come our hearts are meaner than them who are embracing these "eneiemies" with open hearts?
4. Just as when the forces of evil are making a big fuss over a small good deed, our forces of good are mysteriously silent and lukewarm in their opposition to the "evil forces", one asks why? Is it not the case that evil flourishes when good men remain silent? Why then are not our scholars and aalims and aabids up in arms against DRP and Gaumee party for opposing this move? A lukewarm notice in the Adhaalath Party website says that its "ok" for prisoners to be released from Guantanamo Bay and be welcomed in Maldives. But is it OK only? Does it not go beyond a mere OK? Is it not binding on us to help Muslims one another wherever possible? Are we not supposed to be the ones Quruan mentions as they who despite their love for food feeds the miskeen, the yatheem and the aseer?
5. The president Anni is accused by the opposition parties of recieving financial aid from the Americans for housing their two prisoners. But we ask, what's wrong with that? Americans  are certainly not unable to keep these prisoners for another 1000 years in their prisons. They can do so overwhelmingly. America despite its wayward policies is a rich country which is spoiled by the kuffar.

We ask Allah (azza wa jaal) to speed up the release of the muslims aseers of Guantanamao Bay and various other jails where they are inprisoned by kuffar and to guide islamic nations to piety and brotherhood and remove the enmity from their hearts.

What next? Ask israel to send rabbis to teach Quruan?

First they asked for Amina Wadood to lecture to Aminiyya school students on islam. Then they brought Proffessor Paul Robinson to translate our constitution. Now they are seeking help from Germans to interpret Islamic Sharia. One wonders what's gonna be next? Maybe ask Israel to send some rabbis to teach us holy Quruan?

For Anni the President these maybe just ways of cuddling up to EU for more funds in aids to the country but he aught to be sensitive the feelings of the country. It might be true that there maybe more Islamic scholars in Germany than in Maldives. But its equally true that Maldives is the envy of every 'real' Muslim scholar because this is one of the few countries in the world where the call to prayer resonates 5 times  in every island. For those of us who were born and bred here the azan may not be a moving or interesting call. But for those who live in countries which prohibit calling out azan aloud, the moment they hear azan in Male' they are moved to tears.

Our problem is not with existing laws of sharia, but the fact that we are not willing to abide by them.

An open letter to the kuffar..

Since the last sermon by Sheikh Ilyas on the topic of Paradise, there has been quite a lot of open letter writing by our local kuffars disputing everything the sheik said. Its only expected that kuffar will do just that as Shaithaan has beautified them such acts and prompt him to to do his work all too often.

Now this is not to say that whatever that a sheikh utters is true or credible. Sheikh's are also human beings who err and are limited by human weaknesses. This goes the same for sheikhs as well as the kuffar. The distinction is here on the issue of belief which for the kuffar is always blind faith whatever amount of evidence is available, whilst for those who are not confined in their vision to an inner small circle in their minds, belief is a vast field. There are many descriptions of  Paradise in holy Quruan we Muslims believe on the authority of Allah Swt. The descriptions are explained in ways which we humans can understand as there are no exact similitudes of what is contained in hereafter here in earth. Earth is in between of everything that is in hereafter and there is no likeness of bliss of paradise here on earth as there is  no equivalence of misery of hell here on earth. We are humans and our minds can cope with intelligence that has existing forms stored in our memory to translate and evaluate it for us. That is why in the descriptions of provisions of paradise Allah (swt) mentions names of fragrances and precious, pearls and  qualities like youth, beauty immortality etc. Because these are qualities and and things that are generally associated with the best that we see here in earth.

The kuffar's attempt to sully even these blessings Allah(swt) has promised to the believers are ludicrous and here are some examples.


“I am a bit concerned about the anatomical composition of those houris. I mean ambergris is, after all, a discharge from the digestive system of the sperm whale; musk is a substance that comes from a gland close to the anus of a male deer and camphor is used to embalm the dead”

from http://www.maldivesroyalfamily.com/pleasures_of_the_paradise.shtml

In response to this firstly I have to say that I am not at all impressed by the kuffars assumed  clean and scientific outlook. These kuffars who despise so much what is symbolic to mean fragrant smell shall take a close look at the substance they excrete once or twice daily and take a hint from it. However clean or scientific we are, we cannot still escape the biological laws of Allah who created us in the first place. What Allah(swt) alludes is that that houri's are beautiful and fragrant creation He created in a special way. Now always appearing to be on the scientific side (as if they created science!) these kuffars shall tell me they would rather choose a  foul smelling dung-created  creature  for their earthly rewards. They shall have it no doubt  but not in paradise, but in fire.

Turkish girl 'buried alive' in family garden

"A Turkish teenager found dead in a hole next to her house was probably buried alive, a post-mortem examination has revealed.

Medine Memi, 16, was found in the hole in December. Large amounts of soil were in her lungs and stomach, according to a source who has seen the report.
Her father and grandfather have been arrested, but not charged.
So-called "honour killings" take place every year in Turkey despite government moves to stamp out the practice". ... read the rest of the article here at BBC site.


These abominable crimes happen not because of our religion, but because we have abandoned Islam. What the people in the story did was what Islam came to stop which was burying children alive. These so called 'honor killings' are not a modern invention and was infact quite an ancient custom. Islam forbade this practice and laid strict conditions to distinguish between open lewdness and the cases where the weak were taken advantage of. In these cases of honour killings, its probable that the girl was taken advantage of by a youth or that an innocent chat or banter was simply misinterpreted to be something larger than life and whatever the causes maybe people are simply not allowed to take law on their hands. The killers of this girl should be sent swiftly to their Maker to settle the dispute with the girl. Her killers were certainly guilty of circumventing justice and taking the life of a human being without due judicial process.
